On March 18, the Lakers' away game against the Hawks was a recognized game without suspense.

After getting up, Guo Xu asked O'Neal to have lunch together and went to a famous Mexican restaurant near the hotel.

After playing against the Hawks, the Lakers will return to home court. Even if the opponent is not strong, Guo Xu feels that Kobe may choose to come back early with his urinary nature. After all, the team doctor is talking about letting him rest for one to two weeks, not two weeks.

Guo Xu is eager to play luxurious data, which may be his best regular season and the last chance to score. If Kobe comes back, he will still make a move, it will easily affect the harmony of the locker room.

After eating for a while, Guo Xu said seriously: "Shakel, I need your help tonight. Can you help me clear the data? I hope I can average 20+ points per game in the rookie season."

"No problem, I'm afraid the Eagles will lose too quickly." O'Neal smiled.

"Let's be a little lazy when defending. Just keep the score difference at around 10 points, give the Hawks a little illusion that they can win." Guo Xu suggested.

"Your idea is very good, I like it, then you have to strive to score 50+ to complete the task." O'Neal said.

"It's too conservative, you have to 50+10, hehe..." Guo Xu also said.

The two of them looked like good people no matter how they looked, which attracted a couple on the table next to them to look at each other. However, these two were not basketball fans and could not guess that something big would happen in the evening game.

O'Neal agreed very happily. No matter how he cooperated with Guo Xu, he could guarantee the data and not affect his own interests. Moreover, he disliked Kobe and helped Guo Xu produce beautiful data, which made Kobe less important. What would Kobe use to compete with him for the boss in the future?

In O'Neal's plan, his basketball status before the age of 35 is unshakable. Unfortunately, his future decline will be much faster than expected.

Guo Xu has no psychological burden on data swiping, and he will not feel embarrassed.

NBA is a business alliance, where every team is seeking interests, and every player must actively protect their own interests.

For players and teams, how to achieve a win-win situation is a very important thing. Teams hope to sign players at the lowest price, while players hope to get the highest price. Therefore, many players will brush data during the contract year season to take the initiative when signing contracts.

This kind of chaos is inevitable. Many players will play very positively in contract years, but will become slack after getting a big contract. This is how most "high salary and low ability" bad contracts come from.

In addition, rookies also like to swipe data. They usually do not have the conditions to swipe data throughout the season, but the team management will be happy to let them swipe a single game, which will help enhance their fame and increase their commercial value. Guo Xu has seen many such examples in his previous life.

For example, Bucks' Brandon Jennings, who scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the game against the Warriors on November 14, 2009. In that game alone, Jennings broke various historical records, including the youngest 50+ gentleman, the rookie with the most points in a single quarter (29 points), the minimum number of games of 50+, etc., which was only the 7th game of his career.

What's even more outrageous is that the Suns sophomore Devin Booker, who scored 70 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the away game against the Celtics on March 24, 2017, but the Suns lost 120-130. He therefore became the 6th 70-pointer gentleman in NBA history and the youngest 70-pointer gentleman in NBA history.

Guo Xu firmly believes that as long as the entire game has the ball rights, he can also play super data. His current personal ability is definitely stronger than the two young players in the future, and he is not a little bit stronger.

Jennings averaged 32.6 minutes per game in the rookie season, scoring 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals, with a shooting percentage of only 37.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.4%, which is not outstanding among rookies.

Booker averaged 22.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the second season, with a shooting percentage of 42.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.3%, and a shooting percentage not high.

Neither of them has ever been teammates with superstars, but they just rely on their high shots to score high points. The difficulty of scoring data is much higher than that of Guo Xu. Guo Xu is different. His partner is the number one player in the league in this era.

After Jordan retired, players are generally low-key. Iverson averaged 30+ per game to excite fans. He has scored 50+ twice in the regular season, both of which were obtained in January, with 54 points against the Jazz and 51 points against the Raptors.

Guo Xu felt that Iverson's move was not wild enough. 54 points was not an insurmountable number. He would open everyone's eyes tonight!

He arrived at the stadium on time in the evening. In the visiting team's locker room, Guo Xu took the initiative to chat with Phil Jackson, hoping to play. It was not enough to rely on O'Neal's cooperation. Guo Xu needed more playing time, so Jackson had to decide. It would not be possible if he didn't say it.

"What is your reason?" Jackson asked with a smile.

Guo Xu certainly couldn't say that in order to brush data, he took out the prepared rhetoric and analyzed the tactics and the situation of the opponent.

"Because the Hawks' point guard is Brevin Knight of 178cm, Jason Terry will be the shooting guard, and they like to fight against their opponents. The disadvantage of playing like this is the height and defense of the defender. They lose badly when they face the Raptors on the court. As long as I let me beat Knight."

"Okay, I'll allow it." Jackson smiled.

The "Zen Master" did not point out the little things in Guo Xu's heart. He knew very well that Guo Xu was a player who liked data. In Guo Xu's opinion, he was already very selfless, and he took much less attacks than Kobe and O'Neal, but in the coaching staff, he was just bold and often rushed to play.

And this is exactly what Guo Xu is so clever. He rushes to shoot when he feels good, and passes actively when he feels bad. His shooting percentage is much higher than Kobe. The coaching staff and the players have no objection. Why blame him for being so accurate?

Fighting against the Hawks is indeed a good opportunity for players to swipe their data. Since the Hawks traded Mutombo, they have no advantage in playing any team. Now they are just letting young players play casually and focus on next season.

Knight, who is 178cm tall and weighs 75kg, was traded to the Eagle by the Cavaliers in the mid-term. The Eagle's purpose is to clear up his salary space and will not renew his contract in the summer.

Knight was a 16-year-old rookie in the first round in 1997. He scored 9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists in the rookie season, which is very eye-catching. His characteristics are fast speed and sharp breakthroughs, but his mid- and long-distance shooting is a mess, and his defensive end is even more like a black hole. Guo Xu likes to deal with such a guard the most. He can play pick-and-roll with O'Neal and can score assists, and he has obvious advantages in direct single-handed fights.

After joining the Hawks, Knight's shooting percentage was less than 40%, averaging 6 points and 6 assists per game, but he played about 30 minutes in each game. For Guo Xu, this is really the right time, place and people.

As he approached his appearance, Jackson announced his tactics, arranged for Guo Xu and Fisher to join him, and gave Guo Xu unlimited attack rights.

Fisher was envious and jealous, and he was a mute and could not say what he had to suffer.

Fisher and Guo Xu fought one-on-one in the team. Now Guo Xu is just playing, and even his strength advantage is not obvious. He can't squeeze out easily by taking Guo Xu. He doubted that Guo Xu used some medicine that the outside world didn't know. Otherwise, how could Guo Xu weigh less than 80 kilograms, how could he withstand him now at 94 kilograms?
